Every year, the Intelligent Community Forum names the Top7 Intelligent Communities in the world. The 2019 announcement will be at an event taking place in Québec City, a Top7 Community of 2012, and will be organized by the Department of Organizational Information Systems at Université Laval's Faculty of Business Administration.
This day, commemorating Intelligent Communities, will bring together representatives of the 7 cities selected from the most intelligent in the world, as well as world-renowned speakers and lecturers. Any cities or stakeholders interested in intelligent cities are also invited to attend this educational and networking event. International media will also be on site to cover the event.
The day ends with a dinner at 5:30pm, including the announcement of the Top7 Intelligent Communities of 2019. Immediately following the live announcement at the event, ICF will release its global announcement of the Top7 Intelligent Communities of 2019 on its website. Click here to register.
